Rear Powered Window Gripe

My 2018 OR has the rear powered window. It’s nice to be able to open it while driving, but my issue comes when I’m in my camper shell. I’d like to be able to manually open and close it while the truck is off and I’m not next to the button. Has anyone else wondered this? A way to disable the motor without just completely removing it?

 

Have you considered running a secondary switch to the bed?

 

Definitely thought of it- without much second thought. Maybe I should revisit it.

Pretty sure it's switched power, so you would need to rewired a new source of constant to get it to work without the truck on.
How important is it? You're not going to fit through from you canopy, so it's limited to throwing things in and out of the backseat?
Can you leave the window open? What is the weather going to be like?

 

It's definitely switched power but getting constant 12v to a new switch is not difficult in the scheme of installing a secondary switch.

 

Are you sleeping in the bed? Just leave the rear window open.

Are you grabbing something in the bed and realize you need something in the cab? Get out of the bed and open the rear door.

Being able to open the rear window from the bed doesnt make sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something. If you can open it from the bed so can anyone else.

 

I'll wait for @caribe makaira to weigh in on the schematics but I'm guessing it's more complicated than putting 12v to the window motor.

 

The juice to relay coils is switched power (Violet). Easy to work with. Switch is to ground.

 

Rear window or back door window?

 

No

 

A Gentleman and a Scholar, Caribe you are a wonderful person.

 

Added switch at the bed (Single Pole, Double Throw) (ON)-(ON) Momentary on each selection.

Relays are somewhat accessible if you remove the Head Unit (Radio)
